The result is no David Attenborough documentary, but its probably the closest available equivalent youll get to strolling around the home of the elusive animals: The project expands upon Bear Tracker, the Google Maps-based polar bear watching project run by Polar Bears International. As Google explained on its blog post announcing the polar bear views, it serves a double purpose.
